Outlaws has a great intro and great cutscenes. I might start a thread about that game sometime. I couldn’t find the intro; the closest I found was a trailer for it: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=413vmx96cB4](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=413vmx96cB4) The first part of the trailer is made up of cutscenes from the game. The soundtrack in the trailer isn’t as good as I remember it. Either the trailer uses midi versions of the music or my memory is wrong. I also remember the animation as being a little less jerky. ---

The low-quality video doesn’t do it justice, but the [opening animation for Dynasty Warriors 5](http://youtube.com/watch?v=szvK2vpoj-U) makes me stare and want to cry (because I’m studying special effects animation right now) at the same time. A hearty second to the Katamari series’ [opening video](http://youtube.com/watch?v=szvK2vpoj-U). All levels of special there.
